    Canada to offer permits to those stranded by Trump ban

    Canada will offer temporary residency permits to travellers who become stranded in the country by President Donald Trump's executive order banning travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said on Sunday.

    "Let me assure those who may be stranded in Canada that I will use my authority as minister to provide them with temporary residency if they need it, as we have done so in the past," Hussen said.
